I bought this thru Amazon about a year ago. I've tried using it a few times but I've never been able to level it properly and get poor results with the dado. After looking at it further the insert is in fact warped. I've made my own insert now out of MDF and it works much better. If the Bosch insert was level (like the insert I received with the table saw), I'd give it five stars, but it's useless as is when trying to do any sort of fine wood working.

blades can be a bit tight, but if you insure the blade is elevated to it's

maximum height you shouldn't have any problem. The reason for this is

because the dust containment shroud is rather close to the blade to

contain saw dust from blowing all over the place. If you have any further

questions, please write back.

Better instructions should be written for this insert.Nov. 7 2007

I've had my Bosch table saw for a little over 3 years and use it every week in my carpentry business. It has yet to disappoint me. Up until now I had not purchased the dado insert because of some of the poor reviews. I had made my own insert and have put up with the struggle of using it all this time (I had to screw it in each time and place washers underneath to make it flush). After my last frustrating effort with my homemade insert, I decided that at $13, Bosch's dado insert couldn't be any more frustrating than using my own homemade one. Boy had I been wrong (and the reviewers that I had listened to). It took almost nothing to snap it in and adjust it to level. Those are the ONLY instructions that come with it - in three languages. Woohoo! The hitch came when I needed to cut a wide dado. This is where the additional instructions would have been helpful (and would have kept some of the reviewers from giving it low marks). On a wider stack you will need to remove the inner arbor washer and replace it with the outer washer, then put on your stack of blades. I would rate this 5 stars if they would only give you this small, but important, bit of info with the package. Even the instruction book that comes with the saw when it mentions working with dado or molding heads doesn't tell you this. All it says is, "Instructions for operating the Dado and Molding Heads are contained in the booklet furnished with these accessories. ALWAYS USE APPROPRIATE TABLE INSERT LISTED UNDER ACCESSORIES." Hmmmm, neither set of instructions tells you anything about swapping out the arbor washers. Fortunately I was able to figure this on my own. I wish now I had been using this from the get go and had not been influenced by negative reviews for so long.

Second one works fineFeb. 7 2004

Well, the first one I received was bent -- laying it face down on the table top, it would rock considerably. If adjusted so the front and back edge were in line with the table, it was high in the center. I figured that would probably throw my cuts off, so I just shipped it back. Amazon had a flat replacement at my door a few hours after I managed to drop the old one in the mail. The replacement works great, and I'd probably rate it 4 stars if the first one hadn't been bent. Also, considering that the manual for the saw itself says very little about mounting a dado stack, it might be nice if the insert gave you some more info. I had to email Bosch tech support to get the secret for getting beyond 1/2".

Dado insertApril 9 2002

Disappointed with the insert. Love the saw and the stand. The dado insert only allows a 1/2" cut. A 3/4" dado setup rubs against the insert. You'd need to take the stabilizer off to have the blades be centered. It's as if no one tried it after it was developed.

Dado Insert, a must have.March 8 2007

This one little accessory is a must have for your Bosch 4000 table saw. It fits the table top securely and once installed allows Dado cuts up to 3/4".

The one thing you need to know in order to get the max. width cut when mounting your dado blades, you must use the outside washer on the inside. Then use the standard 23mm lock down nut on the outside without a washer, or in my case, I used one of the dado shims as a washer.
